IMHO, there is no demand for this kind of "improved tools collection". In the programming world, the programmer creates a sweet working environment to fit his needs by creating many alias and functions, by customizing his desktop. He complains that the tools collection is complex but has no opportunity to progress because he rarely uses them directly. In the "sysop" world, the user is always logged remotely on varying machines. There is no incentive to install and customize a machine because he will quickly have to work on another machine without this customization.
I think we need a saner alternative to the man pages of the classic unix tools collection. Something less focus on the seldom used options, but more focus on the traps to avoid and the useful tricks. The bad quality of documentation is more annoying than the incongruous syntax of tools.
